Enhanced outdoor localization of multi-GPS/INS fusion system using Mahalanobis Distance

Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of system estimating outdoor position system with three GPS and one IMU sensor. The accuracy of three low-cost GPS which have large instantaneous error are supplemented by using The center of the triangular method and system that has more accurate estimation of position is designed by combining three GPS and one IMU sensor through EKF. And also data values overflowed are eliminated to gain more precise data values with utilization of Mahalanobis Distance. Through experiment, it can verify the results compared single GPS and multi-GPS position error, and then calibrated mobile robot position estimation results can be found.
